David Leopold Archivist at Al Hirschfeld Foundation

What actress was drawn by Al Hirschfeld more than any other? Hint: She was immortalized 45 times.

Find out on Episode 11 of â€œThe Joe D Showâ€ from David Leopold, curator of the retrospective â€œThe Hirschfeld Century: The Art of Al Hirschfeld.â€

The exhibit, which runs May 22 to Oct. 12 at the New York Historical Society (170 Central Park West), celebrates the one-of-a-kind artist with many pieces never seen in New York.

A new book, â€œThe Hirschfeld Century: Portrait of an Artist and His Age,â€ is out in July.

Hirschfeld died in 2003 at age 99 and left a legacy of eloquent and witty line drawings of stars of Broadway, film, TV and beyond.

He didnâ€™t have favorite drawings, says Leopold, archivist at the Al Hirschfeld Foundation, â€œbut he loved the larger-than-life characters. The ones who didnâ€™t close a door, they slammed it.â€

Also on tap: Hirschfeldâ€™s barber chair, nuggets about â€œthe Ninasâ€ and how the iconic artist captured in pen and ink â€œwhat actors were doing,â€ says Leopold, â€œeven if they werenâ€™t conscious of what they were doing.â€
